Why do Canadians hate the United States so much? What's the deal with Canadian anti-Americanism? Let's look at the roots of Canada's national identity and talk about why Canadians are obsessed with seeing their country as "not-America."

Honestly it isn’t really hatred. Ask left-wing Canadians (Around two-thirds of the population based on the popular vote total of the Liberals, NDP, and Greens) about the US and their dislike is directed almost exclusively towards Republican states, ask right-wing Canadians (Around one-third of Canadians based of the vote total of the Conservatives and BQ) and their dislike is directed almost exclusively towards Democratic states (Although the BQ tend to hate everything Anglophone so they are a bit of an anomaly).

No. The UK just believes the USA is condescending considering their circumstances. The UK is not some oppressive dystopian because it has a ceremonial monarch. You are basically the same country, only difference being one is posh and cold and the other is wild with amazing weather. EDIT: I want to add more lol basically the USA seems to think they broke free of the horrors of Britain, but it was a parliament which declared war and a parliament which ended it, and had been in power since 1689 before Great Britain even existed. I am half American half English, I love both but have noticed the USA appears condescending sometimes, as if their special relationship with the UK is charity work and they can ditch the UK whenever they want. It’s not Britain thinking it’s better, it’s britain thinking that America thinks it’s better. And I promise you the British media is fucking horrific, and has unfortunately plagued the population into believing the world hates them and they can only rely on themselves. It’s not arrogance, but instead being told that other countries believe you are nothing and you can only rely on yourselves. Brexit shows how much impact the media such as the Daily Mail and the Sun has corrupted the population. The most ironic part is that people equate their reluctance to love America as arrogance, as if they’re too salty to accept the American revolution. I’d like to remind everyone that during British & American occupation of the San Juan islands in 1859, the British celebrated the 4th of July with the US, and the US celebrated Queen Victorias birthday with the UK. That was in fucking 1859. No one in 2022 is bitter besides Americans who are passionate Anglophiles. I promise as someone who sees both sides I can clearly tell the “hostility”. I want to add I truly think the USA and UK are the two most cooperative powers in world history, they are the biggest consumers of eachothers media, news, entertainment, population, and the governments are unbelievably intertwined (militarily and intelligence agencies), to the point where MI6 were entrusted to spy on the USA population and the CIA on the British population to circumvent domestic surveillance laws… and were ironically caught by Der Spiegel, which is German lol. The British media basically insinuates that the USA cares little for Britain yet Britain fights alongside them everywhere. The right wing US media then reaffirms this , with politicians like Trump saying NATO, which was started by Britain, is uneven and a waste of time. But it’s so painfully flawed. Look at any video regarding the sights of the USA & the sights of Britain and you’ll see 10,000+ comments about how much they love eachothers country’s. 9/11 was the biggest terror attack in English history, with around 60 Englishmen dying, and the queen ordered the USA’s anthem to be played by the royal band, which has never been done before in the history of Britain & England besides a state visit. The USA gave $31b to Britain in Lend Lease, which was over $20b more than the USSR who were literally mid invasion against the Nazis and initially losing. The amount of bond these two countries have is staggering, and it’s crazy to think they are even closer today than they were when they were still considered the exact same country.

I used to live in Canada, and I remember when we were in school they showed a video highlighting how Canada is unique from the US. It was many years ago, but I remember some things such as the video saying "We have a Parliament, not a White house... we have a better view of Niagra" (which I know is bot really a strong statement in any way, but it's all I remember exactly) and the whole video was angled in a way to make Canada feel unique to and better than the US. I live in the US now, but don't get me wrong, I have fond memories in Canada and love it, but there is that light anti-American sentiment.

As a great public example of this, check out the spoken word performance during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics opening ceremony. It's basically a Canadian artist Shane Koyczan yelling "we're NOT AMERICA, we're BETTER THAN AMERICA" in the most sophomoric and pathetic way possible. The CBC of course called this childishness "spine tingling". Lol.

Trump himself is a complete idiot not even knowing how to act half of the time making his country look like a joke. Sure the US has a lot of good things going for it but Canada has good public healthcare which America doesn't. Public healthcare allows everyone to get help and live a healthy lifestyle where everyone is treated equally and that is something that Canada has a right to be proud of. America is a cool place but when I hear Americans saying that their country is the best it literally makes me cringe because there is no such thing as the best country in the world. America has a high income gap lots of Rascism huge levels of gun violence that are not seen in other countries in the first world a huge problem with obesity and problems with its police force as seen many times with them being racist particularly towards black people.

it's funny cuz the same thing is happening in Australia as well. we aren't inherently connected to America like Canada is, but I think since the domination of American media and especially because of how americentric social media is, lately there's been a huge push of pointing out every unique trait we have compared to other western countries. I've heard people saying slang terms that haven't been used in the past 20 years, and I think within the younger generations accents have gotten stronger and people feel the need to dislike America and make a thousand school shooting jokes a day. I've also noticed this in the UK, young people there constantly talk about how 'annoying' Americans are and how amazing British humour is compared to American humour. also this has definitely increased from the advent of social media. literally if you go onto twitter these days, the most popular tweets will be about American news, shops and fast food places, schools etc. and so now people feel the need to compare how good their institutions are to how bad American ones are apparently

Very interesting. I'm a white Zimbabwean living in the states and I find myself consciously trying to hold on to my accent because I get so many compliments and admiration from everyone in the US. The fact that young people outside the states are becoming a little bit more "anti American" is possibly an American culture trend of being anti-American, a result of the baggage of slavery, colonization and destruction of native American lives and broadening wealth disparity that young people feel more strongly about. However, I do see young Americans be more open to Americans talking shit about America - when non Americans talk ill of the US, they are met with combative disagreement sometimes. Kind of how only Brits complain about British weather and don't expect foreigners to agree. I do find people back home to seem opposed to the US but it is more of a jealous insecurity

It's amusing to find out that so many Canadians have disdain for us and envelop so much of their identity to being the antithesis of the USA. Their focus would likely serve them much better if it was concentrated on improving their own country instead of engaging in a one sided competition that the majority of Americans aren't even aware of.

Aside from politicians perhaps, I've never been aware there's any 'deep hatred' at all. The creator may have implied that, but I think it's more of a a Canadian smug feeling of superiority over (aspects of) Americans/American society. Same say with French having the (unjustified/outdated) smug feeling of world superiority about their wines or culinary cuisine. In Europe, there was in the 70s-90s the feeling that Americans demonstrated the same smug superiority feelings, perhaps like the British a century ago and the French a century before that.

I've spent a lot of time hanging with Canadians; I've heard it all. One of the most common themes is the persistence of US war plans to attack or invade Canada, with the implication that it's only a matter of time (the US has contingency plans to attack or invade just about everybody). And, of course, the War of 1812, which US citizens hardly ever think about at all except as a historical footnote associated with our national anthem. As a liberal who prefers a lot of modern Canadian government policies to US ones, I can sympathize with many aspects of anti-US Canadian nationalism, but I do think it can serve as a barrier to introspection. Many of the worst aspects of US politics arise from the legacy of slavery, and for Canada to have avoided that to the same degree is to a large extent a matter of luck (a climate less suited to the specific types of agriculture that made slavery extremely profitable) rather than some inherent moral superiority.

​@@iminyourwalls8309 Of course it goes without saying that appeal to a national security interest was just a pretext to invoke tariffs. But if there was a point to those tariffs, I missed it, as did pretty much every analyst I read. (Mainly it seemed to be a combination of getting tough for the sake of the election, and lobbying by the American aluminum makers who both did feel threatened and one in particular that had billions in Russian aluminum to unload. But if you have some further insight, please feel free to share.) It goes without saying the pretext is more believable if the facts support it, and they did not. Counter-tariffs were therefore much more likely to be allowed. And we made our own point clear: if you start a trade war we know how to make it hurt in ways that will cost you domestic support in your election. But the point I was trying to make is that stereotypically, Americans might think being anti-Canadian is pathetic. It's true, they think this, and we prefer it that way so we continue to be underestimated by them. The US President was anti-Canadian (rhetorically) when it suited him, but found out just how bad a hand he had when he tried to follow through. And this president has fostered a cult of personality, some of his supporters might actually believe this.

The idea of a Canada trying to NOT trade with the US is absolute hilarity. The Canadians don’t even have the navy to protect their shipping routes. They rely on the US for that. The US Navy would be smirking as it guarded their temper tantruming cargo ships on their way to pick up some totally non-American goods from somewhere that couldn’t trade with them without us. Bitterness. That’s the word on the tip of my tongue as I watch this. The identifying characteristic of Canadian anti-Americanism is bitterness. They’re bitter at our strength that gives us relative immunity to world concerns and they don’t think us morally “worthy” of that strength even as they live and thrive beneath its benefits. The fact remains that if Canada broke apart or went destitute, the US wouldn’t take very much of a hit from it, maybe import some educated refugees and get cheaper raw goods, that’s it.. ..but if the US broke apart or went destitute? Canada dies. It would kill the Canada dead. They’re bound to our fate, but we aren’t bound to theirs. ..and they’re bitter over it. I’d gladly keep their bitterness if it meant keeping the power in our hands, which looking at the state of Russia and China and the EU, looks like will be what the world gets for the next century, more American power. Some Canadian bitterness is a welcome trade for that and we’d trade for it every time. The world is heading into an economic hurricane, by the end of it the Canadian smugness will have broken and they’ll be sheepishly thankful for the spot they hold when they compare how America’s friends are living to the images of famines on their TV. We are..inevitable. So is a future of fresh Canadian humility in our relationship. There’s nowhere else for them to turn. Honestly, I wish Canadians had the relationship with the US that most Americans think the US has with Canada. If most Americans knew how most Canadians really felt, being Canadian would get extremely unpleasant. If there was suddenly political will in the US to start hurting Canadian feelings? Yeah. We could make it suck up there. It’s only the general American sense of goodwill and camaraderie that most of my countrymen that don’t live on the border like I do mistakenly think exists between our two people that has left the Canadian smugness towards the United States unanswered. If it keeps growing, and if it keeps going mainstream like it has been, they’re gonna get that answer, and I imagine it’ll get quieter after that.

I feel like JJ is giving people the impression that there’s this sentiment in Canadian media that America sucks and we’re activity cultivating that hatred. But our media is almost entirely American. We go on Reddit, watch the news, read papers - even in Japan, people talk more about how shitty Americas culture is today. But we’re all mostly getting it from American media, not ours. People look at the US now and see it as a symbol of modern decline. Canada is afraid of that decline and being pulled down, whether real or hyperbole. We don’t hate Americans, not really, but America kind of scares us. I’ve got no praise for Canada though - it’s the blandest, most lethargic country I’ve lived in.

AL PD well tbh Americans started out by defining ourselves as "Not part of the British Empire" and we collectively made a lot of conscious decisions to reflect that as a culture. Coffee instead of tea, driving on the right hand side of the road, inventing our own sports, etc. So it makes sense that Canada, which started out by defining itself as "Not the United States", would have taken a similar cultural path.

@@definitelynotobama6851 "Coffee instead of tea" What are you talking about, nobody made a conscious decision on this, the only reason coffee became anywhere near as successful in the US (which was over a century after the breakaway) was because the US had more direct control and contact with tropical zones where coffee is commonly grown. "driving on the right hand side of the road" This wasn't conscious either, that just happened out of coincidence, most nations drive on the right side, even Canada does so. The UK, Japan, and a collection of former British colonies are the only nations that drive on the left side, and the US didn't do it because of the UK, it just happened. (which I'm pretty certain was the result of German, French, and Spanish immigrants which make up more then the British populations ever could) "inventing our own sports" Actually this is incredibly ignorant of the history of baseball/cricket, soccer, and football/rugby, none of these sports were invented in the US (alone at least) and they did actually start in the UK and France. Foremost soccer and football used to be the same category of sport and were prominent in both the UK and the US, up into the 1880s or so. After a bit of time a US football (as both soccer and football were called football) organization started developing their own form of football, and between the British and American organizations they worked together to develop soccer. The British rugby organizations that started to crop up ended up not cooperating as much with the American organizations and that's where the split generally ended up happening. As a result football in the US developed independently and was constantly being modified to become more action oriented until you get modern American football. The root of football and soccer were from the same place however and they were developed and invented by both sides of the pond, we did not invent football, we merely modified it slightly. (and its not like we consciously changed it to be different) Cricket has a much similar story, though the divergence is a bit earlier then football. "So it makes sense that Canada, which started out by defining itself as "Not the United States", would have taken a similar cultural path." Not according to what you've said, everything you mentioned happened decades if not a century after Canadian nationalism had already been defined, hell this stuff only existed after the Springtime of Nations where nationalism was revolutionized in Europe, which was well after Canadian nationalism.

(Speaking as an American) One of the things that I've noticed from watching your videos is that some of the people in Canada have a mindset that "at least we're better than ______ country." In your recent video about Bill C-11, it was especially noticeable when one of the politicians (honestly I forget his name, sorry) responded to your question about other countries doing the same thing as C-11 and the gist of what he was saying was "Oh, but we allow free speech, so it's ok if we do it because we'll still be objectively 'better' than ______ country" which isn't a very good precedent to be teaching to younger audiences, who might take that into a social perspective, that since they aren't, for example, beating up classmates but instead verbally insulting and harassing classmates it makes them objectively better than those who do the former.

Honestly every in person interaction I've had with Canadian people has been negative. They acted nice on a surface level but always have condescending undertones dispite my naturally friendly disposition (some people at work call me "smiley" which bugs me but its not the worst), almost as if the stereotypes were reversed. I ran into a large group Canadians college students on break or something while I was in the army at a bar. I said hi and was friendly, then sat away from them, they invited me and my buddy to sit with them and the conversation started friendly, but as the night grew on I started to notice cracks in their act. It went from joke all in good fun to backhanded compliments then, me being a patient but direct person, told them I could read a room and I wasn't oblivious there were multiple layers to the conversation and that I'd rather have an open discussion. After that I was called a "baby killer", "nazi sympathizer", "government drone" ect because I was a member of the US Army followed by a large amount of anti American pro Canadian sentiment. I had some clue of Canadian politics before that but I assumed most Canadians had a similar love for us as we do them. It was eye opening to say the least. Also don't understand why they were so obsessed over our regional politics. I dont really pay attention what laws passed 2 states from me as long as they were constitutional, let alone the politics of a seperate nation with different culture.

Another thing this video reminded me of was that when I lived in Canada, they taught us that the US invaded Canada I the War of 1812 caused the war, and that the Canadians defended their land and won. When I moved to the US, they taught us that the British caused the war by seizing US ships and crews and undermining US independence, and that the US won because they asserted their independence from the British. There is some truth to both sides of course, but each side twists the story to make them seem righteous and victorious.

Civic nationalism is the only true nationalism. It could also be called Resistance Nationalism. It's "wingless" because it opposes oppressors from all sides, whether from the left, right, or anywhere else. Of course, anyone who supports gun control can't realistically claim to be any sort of freedom fighter, so a Resistance nationalist should advocate civilian ownership (and mastery) of modern weaponry. It's a philosophy and mentality similar to the Czech Resistance during World War II. *Note:* "Levied" would be a better word than "leveled."

Nice video. I'm neutral on Canada; no interest in living there but might visit again, maybe. As an American living outside of the US, I'm very familiar with the smugness exhibited by other Westerners, which is silly because not only do they also have horrific histories, we are quite similar culturally. It is interesting that left-wing nationalism wraps around to using the same language as right-wing nationalism. The left-wingers fancy themselves progressive, while still being bigoted and xenophobic towards whomever they don't like - in this case Americans.

Same here in Southeast Asia. Mainly the non-muslim countries though (but even then, with exceptions such as the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in the Philippines, who fought for an independent "Bangsamoro" while also pushing for more leftist policies) Well here in the Philippines, everyone declares themselves as nationalist, but especially the left, as the aim of the left is emancipation from foreign influence/rule and the indigenisation of culture and education, without going back to the pre-colonial social structures It makes a lot of sense though. When oppression of the working classes come from foreign companies, nationalism serves as a way to fight both foreign intervention and oppression of the lower classes While in countries such as Switzerland, the assumption of nationalism is that it serves to degrade the lower classes that generally happen to be of foreign origin. The lower classes already work for Swiss companies, so there isn't a need to fight foreign influence Can't really tell much about Canada so my comment isn't that related with the video as it takes a more "third worldist" view

But this one video was one of the most illuminating videos of yours, as you decided to tackle more "essential" cultural issues related to canada, and you delineated specifically the aspects that diverge from United States, and you did not shy away from letting your own preferences and leaning to tinge the comentary (while being self-aware and not hiding your biases). If you can give us more of that, I'd really like it. Good work, brother.

There are certain cultural things beyond political structure that tie Canada together, east-west. But overall, the Maritime Provinces are similar to northern New England, Ontario to the Mid-West (which includes some prominent cities), the Praire Provinces to the Prairie States (conservative cowboys who love oil...), and British Columbia to the Pacific NW. Sure, there are British instititions and cultural artefacts... but America has those too (maybe fewer that date to the 19th or 20th centuries, but still). And even that left wing spirit not only ignores how conservative parts of Canada are, but how liberal parts of America are. In fact, the brand of liberalism in Canada is hugely American-influenced. The major American cities and Canadian cities are similarly liberal, and their rural areas similarly conservative. Even peculiarly American conservative ideas like the 2nd amendment seep over because these people share a language and media space. And in the end, British North America already has a lot in common as evidenced in the name.

I'm an American who spent 4 years as an undergraduate in a Canadian university. I find this analysis absolutely accurate and applaud JJ McCullough for his insight. Made many friends during that time but I was shocked at the amount of anti-American prejudice. They chose the worst examples of Americans and took that to be the norm. For example, Americans were supposed to be dumb-- I think there are smart and dumb people in every country. It's called being human. Most Canadians I met accepted Republican propaganda that Republican = American. And they took for granted that they shared a 3,000 mile unprotected border with the US from which they had no fear of any military threat. I can go on. On the other hand then and now I've held on to a great admiration for Canada for its achievements as a free society. The effect of my stay led me to notice and challenge my own parochialisms. For example, as a New Yorker I had always resented California as a rival. I realized this was the same kine of reaction that I had encountered in Canada against the US. I went to California and decided to live there, I consider myself both a New Yorker and a Californian. And part Canadian.

Very insightful. I've only been to Canada once, but being from the Midwest, I've met many Canadians who share the same attitude toward the US you describe. I think it's kind of sad really, because I see our nations as brothers. Each are flawed, but both are brilliant in their own way. Most left-wing Americans (of which I consider myself to be) don't look at Canada's flaws at all. They only see the universal healthcare, relaxed marijuana laws, and less-war focused nationalism, but they don't see the crippling oppression of Indigenous people, political corruption at the Provincial level, the exploitation of the banking industry on disenfranchised nations, the high child homelessness rate, or the casual bigotry and racism that pervades their culture as much as ours. These flaws don't make me hate Canada, but they do reinforce the fact that our countries are no where near as different as Canadians like to think we are. People always assume I would prefer to live in Canada because I'm liberal. Absolutely not. I said that's like trading the home where our problems get addressed out in the open and we work to fix them and fight for a better society for the home where problems are often swept under the rug in the name of defining yourselves by who you aren't. No, thank you.

I don’t know. I deal with Canadians on a semi-regular basis. I know they are Canadian, and they know I’m an American. With more avid users of the internet, people just don’t care. As the two nations are interdependent politically, economically, and digitally, people are bound to connect across the border more often than across the ocean. Then it gets to a point where, it’s hard to hate Americans when 1/3 of your friends are Americans. Just like it’s hard to hate Canada when 5 of your best friends are Canadian. It’s easier to hate people without an expansive social circle, but once it’s established, it’s much more difficult. That’s just the way it is.

Fun fact. about Canada and the U.S. involvement in Vietnam.. the Vietnam War was so popular among Candadian army personnel that eventually the Canadian Army adopted a policy of allowing their soldiers to go on leave for a period of time to join serve for an enlistment in the U.S. Army and fight in Vietnam. Canadian volunteers were so numerous that the U.S. Army formed up companies in which all of the privates were Canadians, serving under American officers and (mostly American NCOs. I think that the Canadian leaders eventually realized that it was a good way for their personnel at all levels to get combat experience without the Canadian government having to pay for it (personnel's pay, equipment, and logistics coss).
